The Nunnery: Backpackers with character

  • Friends recomended this place to me years ago and I love going back. The hostel comprises of a main building of 3 floors, it started its life as a nun's convent that's been renovated. Last time I stayed therethere was a second 2 storey buiding of similar age and design. Both buildings have common rooms the main one has large modern bathrooms with shower and toilet cubicles the 2nd building has it's original bathrooms with bathtub-showers. This may have since been turned into a guesthouse (according to the website). Breakfast is included in your accomadation price and is served at the rear of the main building in the large kitchen. Weekdays it's bread rolls, cereals and spreads on weekends pancakes were served. The dorms are all single sex and differ in size for 4 to 12 bed dorms. Everyone I met there was relaxed and friendly. I accidently left the door open to our twin room when I went out one evening (camera in the center of the floor) and it was still there when I came back (both luck and a sign of the safe friendly atmosphere). Each person has a key to their room/dorm and a pin code is set for the front door and changed every few days. This is not your high tech hostel but makes you feel at home straight away. The rattling of the trams may annoy you to start with but by the time you leave you'll be expecting to hear them every 10mins. We miss the sounds of trams when we get home!

    A giant papermache nun greets you on you entry. Walking distance to the centre of Melbourne, opposite melbourne museum and 1 block from Brunswick street. 5metres to tram stop.
